DIRECTIONS

Listen up, scrub. In this week's bonus giveaway, you get Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault absolutely free. We are not giving you any code for this giveaway, because this game is available via Origin.

To get Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, click here to go to Origin and click the orange 'Download Now Free' button. You will have to log into your Origin account or create an Origin account if you don't have one. Then simply follow on-screen instructions and you will be good to go. Enjoy!

Be sure to leave a nice comment if you like this offer or ask for help if you have any trouble.

They mention nowhere on the signup page that they are using an "Origin On the House" to get your e-mail address and send you their ad laden giveaways. Scratch another site from my giveaways list for shady practices :P

EDIT: For those that missed it, HRK pulling shady practices - http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/7EAS9/psa-hotrandomkeys-is-pulling-phone-numbers-from-twitter-or-steam

We will keep you informed of new game giveaways and discounts. You can unsubscribe at any time, and once you unsubscribe you will not be added again. If this is not acceptable to you, please GTFO.

From their checkout page, those guys are sure nice guys.

Haha, I was appalled when I saw this. It's just cheap profiting from an Origin deal.

If someone is trying to make an retard out of you by pretending that they are giving away something while it's totaly not related guys are giving it away in fact (EA in this case) you know that you block emails from them and never visit'em again :)

That is the second time they do that with Origin games. They request your data and redirect you to Origin.

Hmm... I'm kind of wondering if this isn't illegal in some countries actually (since they're using EA's promotion to advertise themselves)

I sent an e-mail to EA about it when they did the same thing with a NFS game (even tho its EA), they gave me a discount code but apparently did nothing about it.

Perhaps it costs more to deal with it, then that they gain by shuting in down?

There's a difference between telling people about a deal and surreptitiously mining e-mail addresses to serve ads and making yourself look like the deal giver.

i don't give away free anything ... just telling people about a deal. Falmid makes it seem like they are GIVING away free games

I know, I know... I was just joking. They are basically doing the same you do (letting us know where to obtain the free game) but with a lot of bullsh*t in the process.

Anyway, you're the real gift to this site <3
